} Ethernet Adapter Packet Driver Installation ========================== The packet driver NWPD.COM can be used for the NE2000 Ethernet Adapter. To load the packet driver, type NWPD 0X60. NWPD Syntax ----------- To load the packet driver use the following syntax: NWPD [-cTYPE] [-d] [-n] [-w] [-u] [-h] [IRQ] [IO_BASE] where: [-cTYPE] The Packet Driver will detect adapter type automatically. You can use this option to run the Packet Driver on any third party network adapter. Before using this option, you must ensure that your adapter is is compatible with NE1000, NE2000, NE2. [-d] The "-d" option does not start the adapter, until this driver is first called by the higher layer programs. [-n] The Novell server uses NOVELL ISO-like packets, while the Novell workstation uses NOVELL 8137 packets. You can use this option to convert NOVELL 8137 packets into NOVELL ISO-like packets. In your workstation, these packets communicate with each other regardless of packet type. [-w] Windows interface [-u] Unloads the Packet Driver [-h] Loads the on-line help This specifies the software interrupt (IRQ) where you will load the packet driver. It must be in the range 0x60 to 0x80. The PC/TCP kernel, by default, is loaded at interrupt 0x61. Take not to use this software interrupt. [IRQ] Specifies the adapter's hardware interrupt (IRQ) [IO_BASE] This specifies the I/O address Note ---- 1. If you want to use the adapter's default IRQ and IO_BASE values, you do not have to indicate them in the Packet Driver syntax; they are automatically detected for you. If your IRQ and IO_BASE uses other values, you should indicate the appropriate values when you run the Packet Driver. 2. Sample entries for the [cTYPE] switch include the following: NE1000, NE2000, NE2. Examples ======== The following command line loads the Packet Driver for the NE1000 & NE2000 compatible adapter series at software interrupt 60h, I/O address 300 and hardware interrupt (IRQ) 3. NWPD 0x60 3 0x300, or NWPD 0x60, or NWPD -cne2000 0x60 3 0x300 In the preceding examples, note that: 1. The default I/O address is 300. 2. The default hardware interrupt is 3. 3. The placement of 0x prior to the parameters. TRADEMARKS ========== All trademarks or brand names mentioned are properties of their respective companies.
